You're glossing over the fact that your choice of WFH or in-office affects your coworkers too. WFH when you're the only one doing it and everyone has in-person communication all the time is much more difficult. Or if most of your team is remote, even if you want to go to the office, your communication will still have to be in chat and video calls, not in person, and you essentially end up being remote but from a different location.
So it’s more complex than you’re making it out to be - you can’t just tell people to do whatever they want; you need to align with the rest of your team/company.

- anotheritworker 3y ago> Fail to see how you avoid that You don't. But you interact with your own team 1-2 orders of magnitudes more than the rest of the company. So as long as your team is all in the office, you get a nice boost to communication and you avoid having to do all team activities on zoom.
- sowbug 3y agoI agree. It seems like a legitimate collective-action problem. Team network effects do matter, and the medium of the network does matter.
